    How many health care professionals are involved in chemotherapy treatment?

    This will depend on working practices of your hospital, or even the country you live in. In most countries there will be a multi-disciplinary team who treat the patient's cancer. These may include:

    A clinical oncologist - a doctor who specializes in cancer but does not do surgery. He/she is specialized in chemotherapy.

    A cancer nurse - probably the first person the patient will meet when coming in for chemotherapy.

    A hematologist - this is a doctor who is specialized in the study of blood and bone marrow.

    A pathologist - this is a doctor who specializes in the identification of diseases by examining cells and tissues under a microscope.

    A psychologist - he/she will help the patient deal with the mental and emotional ordeal of chemotherapy.
